FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
While the shorts offer excellent mobility and breathability, their design is optimized for climbing and hiking. They may be suitable for shorter runs, but dedicated running shorts often offer features like built-in liners and additional pockets.
What is the best temperature range for these shorts?
These shorts are designed for warm to hot weather conditions. Their lightweight and breathable nature makes them ideal when temperatures rise during outdoor activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Rab sizing chart for men's waist measurements. The adjustable waistband offers some flexibility.
Can I wear a base layer underneath?
Yes, you can wear a lightweight base layer underneath if needed, though the fabric is designed for direct skin contact in warm weather to maximize breathability.
What is the water resistance of the fabric?
The fabric is primarily designed for breathability and stretch, not water resistance. They are not waterproof or significantly water-repellent.
How many pockets do the shorts have?
The shorts feature one zipped back pocket and two open hand pockets.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight/loose
Adjust the internal elasticated waistband for a secure yet comfortable fit.
Fabric feels less stretchy
Ensure you are following the care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying which can degrade elasticity.
Stitching appears to be unraveling
Inspect the garment and contact Rab customer support if the issue is due to a manufacturing defect. Minor fraying can sometimes be carefully trimmed.
